Genesis AI Unveils GENE-26.5, the First AI Brain to Enable Robots with ...
Genesis AI introduces a next-gen robotic foundation model powered by an advanced data engine and a proprietary dexterous robotic hand to power the most capable robots ever built.The company today released a video showcasing never-seen-before complexity in robotic tasks., /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis AI, a global full-stack robotics company, today announced GENE-26.5, the first robotic brain to give robots human-level physical manipulation capabilities. Alongside it, Genesis AI introduced a first-of-its-kind system to unlock unlimited amounts of data and train GENE-26.5 at scale. The system combines two proprietary components: a human-scale dexterous robotic hand that enables direct skill transfer from humans to robots and a powerful new data engine. Together, these innovations overcome the fundamental bottleneck in data that has constrained robotics foundation models, paving the way for a new generation of highly-productive general-purpose robots. Genesis AI unveils its GENE-26.5 robotic brain and dexterous robotic hand in a video showcasing the most complex tasks ever performed by robots. "The brain and hand are the two most valuable and complex pieces of robotics, and today we are presenting the industry's most advanced versions of both," said Zhou Xian, Co-Founder and CEO of Genesis AI. "For the first time ever, we're enabling robots to do what only human hands could, and do it reliably, at scale." Reimagining Robotic Intelligence GENE-26.5 is an AI foundation model, purpose-built for robotics and designed to absorb massive amounts of data and environments. It enables robots to perform complex, long-horizon tasks with unmatched dexterity in order to achieve human-level capabilities. With GENE-26.5, Genesis AI is advancing a future where robots can be instantly deployed, and adapt to new environments and unfamiliar tasks.To demonstrate GENE-26.5's superior performance, the company revealed today a video showcasing a collection of the most complex tasks ever performed by robots. The video includes Genesis AI's robotic system mastering the following difficult activities with human-level control and accuracy, demonstrating fluid, human-like dexterity and precise, coordinated hand movements: Cooking a 20-step meal, including chopping tomatoes, one-handed egg cracking and seamless two-hand coordination. Preparing a smoothie, including ingredient handling, pouring, blending and mid-air serving with coordinated two-hand control. Conducting high-precision lab expe...
Videos: Humanoid Robot Production, Mars Rovers, More - IEEE Spectrum
Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your friends at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We also post a weekly calendar of upcoming robotics events for the next few months. Please send us your events for inclusion.ICRA 2026: 1–5 June 2026, VIENNARSS 2026: 13–17 July 2026, SYDNEYSummer School on Multi-Robot Systems: 29 July–4 August 2026, PRAGUEActuate 2026: 18–19 August 2026, SAN FRANCISCOEnjoy today’s videos!Figure is now able to produce 55 robots per week, which will be “allocated to internal research and development groups, data collection, efforts for robots to perform end-to-end housework, and commercial use-case development.” Er, that seems like a lot of robots to be making when commercial use cases are still “in development,” doesn’t it?[ Figure ]The opening of the NEO Factory in Hayward, Calif., marks a fundamental shift in humanoid robotics: The United States’ most vertically integrated robot factory has now begun full-scale production, bringing end-to-end manufacturing of NEO under one roof. Spanning 58,000 square feet and employing over 200 team members, 1X designs and builds every critical component in-house—motors, batteries, transmissions, sensors, structures, and final assembly—enabling faster iteration, superior safety, and true American scale. With the first robots already coming off the line and consumer shipments planned for 2026, this is the critical milestone that turns the vision of abundant, general-purpose home robots into reality. Scale will fix everything...?[ 1X ]Unlike statically stable robots, a dynamically balanced robot can shift its center of mass to accommodate loads without tipping over, so we like to see just how far we can push our software. Getting Digit to stand on one leg pushes the limits of our sim-to-real pipeline training methodologies—even the slightest model mismatches can lead to instability.[ Agility ]In this work, we develop a tactile-enabled whole-body humanoid manipulation system for stable, dexterous, contact-rich real-world manipulation. Our system combines VR-based whole-body teleoperation, a lower-body controller based on reinforced learning, dexterous hand retargeting, distributed tactile sensing, and a multimodal policy called Humanoid Transformer with Touch Dreaming (HTD).[ Humanoid Touch Dream ]Thanks, Yaru!Originally posted two years ago, “Can I Have a Pet T.
